“The partnership between MAIRE and Octave focuses on applying AI where it delivers measurable value inside real engineering and construction workflows,” said Jay Allardyce, Chief Product Officer at Octave. “MAIRE operates in environments where complexity is high, scale is significant and failure is not an option, which makes consistency and data integrity critical. By connecting trusted, governed data across the lifecycle, we are enabling teams to make better decisions, improve execution predictability and deliver critical infrastructure with greater confidence.”
